Delivers two Eloquent sermons In
Rock Island-Address at the ". NJ.
G. AIRooms.
Rev. Herrick johnson, of Mccormick
Theological Seminary. Chicago, preached
two able and eloquent sermons at the
Broadway Presbyterian church yesterday.
Mr.. johnson is one OF tho most distin-
guished divnes in the west, is beautiful
and forcible speaker and his discourse
reflect deep thought and commands
close attention. His morning theme
was taken from Proverbs, 80:
He that winneth souls is wise.
SAVING OF SOULS.
The distinguished gentleman said that
the only mission of the church in this
world was to win souls. While for
individuals there were many other things
to be won that are good, still the win
ming of souls is the best of all. Thework
was to be judged by three things. names
ly: quality, results and rewards. The
speaker then diverted his attention TO
| the treatment and ANALYSIS Of these three
points. The work could not be done
| without wisdom. the wise use of means
| and in these uses of means. there must
be knowledge of men. and knowl-
edge of Gods word. with the wise sdap-
tation of one to the other The winning
of souls meant the saving of man from
something by something and to some
thing. Mr.. johnson stated that these
three things connected with the saving
of the soul-from, by and to-are taught
| in the bible, as from sin and its results,
| by Calvary and the work done thereto
heaven These were spoken of as the
| results The rewards were the ioys of
the winning now. and the rewards here
after.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
In the evening Mr. johnson pres ched
from Psalms 6s:6;
! He setteth the solitary in families
| Mr.. johnson took up marriage, It's
origin and special use the home, its results
in way of civilization coming from the
home The learned clergyman alluded
to the events of today threatening the
home, as slackened authority, lack
of obedience and mercsntileism. Mr.
johnson described his meaning of the
latter expression, by saying that the uni
versal desire to make money so absorbed
the thoughts and time of many men tina,
the duties and responsibilities of the
home were often neglected Divorce was
the result of several causes; one was q
debasing press, sending forth light liter
ature, another was debased drama, such
as are founded on plots making light OF
the marriage vow, and wherein the hero
inc is sought TO be characterized as an i'm
moral woman. All these things the
speaker termed as tending TO cause dis
content in the family circle. bringing
about domestic infelicity and ruinatior
to the home.
A TALK TO YOUNG MEN
In the afternoon Rev. johnson deliver
cred an address at the Y. NJ c. A. par,
lors, before large gathering of young
men. His subject was "Manliness. ant
he gave Christ as the highest type Of
true manhood, and said where there wa:
the desire and inclination the Almighty
would assist in moulding character after
that great example. 1t was an intensely
interesting address, and the rooms of the
society contained all that could be com
fortsbly seated.

An Important Feature of South-
ern California.

The most charming hotel in Southern Cali
fornia is situated-much to the advantage OF
Los Angeles-at Santa Monica, aud is called
the Hotel Arcadia. Every advantage OF
ocean and land view has been grasped by
the architect of this modern caravansary.
Its natural advantages are climatic ana
scenic. The days and nights are warm, the
temperature changing but little in the
twenty.four hours. On the.ocean side OF the
hotel, in the sun rooms, the temperature Is
from rs to so degrees. At present Writing,
on the land side, on the ranches, 1t is from
81 to ~ Hundreds of people bathe DAILY
in the open sea, the beach being one OF the
most celebrated surf beaches in America.
The beach stretches for miles along the
shore, and the drive on the beach, as well as
to the canyons and along the NIL sldes, Is
picturesque and enjoyable.
The hotel itself is q model OF comtort ano
elegance. We have but to mention rev OF
the advantages to give our readers an luea OF
its conyeniences. 1t contain q steam ele-
vator, ca electric bells, hot and cold water,
hot salt water baths in the house, surf bath
inc within twenty yards of the house, 900
feet OF wide covered porches surrounding
the house, as well as the sun porch Whlcn IS
feature for inyalids, Not an inside room
In the house. The dining room ana parlors
overlook the ocean. The house Is elegantly
furnished and the service and toble nave no
superior anywhere. 1t is indeed one OF the
few all round yesr re orts in the world.
Three trains by the Southern Pacihc Kali
road are run to and from Santa Monica daily,
and ut such hours as will accommodate per
sons who wish to do business in Los Angeles
and enjoy the comforts OF the above des-
cribed locality of the Hotel Arcadia.
